How about the fact that there’s a massive oligopoly in the industry? How about one studio basically steamrolling the industry with one franchise in the 2010s which alienated movie goers? How about movie-going being expensive AF?

Nah, it’s the fault of the casual moviegoer. Of course.

Hollywood does not respect the audience, movie theater is a bad service.

Why would working person pay either of these parasites?

Yarr ;)

I would very much prefer the theater experience but Hollywood hasn’t had a movie worth going.

Watching at home is more affordable and convenient. Even going out to the movie theater is time consuming having to drive there and find parking then drive back if you don’t live in a place close to the theater even if prices were reasonable.

Movies at home: $0

Movies at home: I don’t have to go anywhere

Agree with you… there’s a clear winner there.

I live less than ten minutes from a decent enough multiplex, but I only go to one or two movies a year, when it’s a project I am excited for and the spectacle of the thing makes the giant screen, giant speakers, and properly darkened viewing room outweigh all the incredible advantages of watching at home.

I still don’t get any popcorn though. If I’m into the movie enough to deal with the… ugh… theater, I don’t need to bother with overpriced concessions.

There’s a hundred original movies shown every year. Just because they don’t have hype and general discussion doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

You forgot about how you get to hear other people talk through out the movie and check there phone on 100 percent brightness.

Literally wtf are you talking about? It’s never been easier to look up what movies are playing in theatres right now and how they’ve been received, even if you don’t actively keep up with releases. Straight up bizarre take for a movie forum
